Healthy Teams Handbook

Handbook Overview. This handbook helps you interpret your Healthy Teams scores and gives you tools and strategies for maintaining or improving your scores in each of the five conditions the Team Health Dashboard measures. ➤ These five conditions come from Project Aristotle, Google’s research into the characteristics of highly effective teams. Using this research, the Extension Foundation created the Healthy Teams survey to measure the strength of these conditions on your team. This is not a quantitative, validated survey. But the results will give you a snapshot of the pre- vailing perceptions of the health of your team at a moment in time and can prompt reflection, meaningful conversation, and positive change. Each condition has its own section, with a quick definition, concrete steps to take to address the condition on your team, an example of how another team improved their score, and additional resources for those of you who want to dig more deeply into the concept. Thank you for your commitment to doing this work. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it, because healthy teams have more impact.
